如果 firefoxbinary 设置为 webdriver.Firefox(firefox_profile=profile, firefox_binary=binary)，则 firefoxprofile 不起作用

Question

i noticed if i use firefox_binary within webdriver, the firefox_profile is not working.im getting my standard useragent

profile = FirefoxProfile(r".\Tor Browser\Browser\TorBrowser\Data\Browser\profile.default")
binary = FirefoxBinary(r".\Tor Browser\Browser\firefox.exe")
ua = UserAgent()
userAgent = ua.random
profile = webdriver.FirefoxProfile()
profile.set_preference("general.useragent.override", userAgent)
profile.update_preferences()
driver = webdriver.Firefox(firefox_profile=profile, firefox_binary=binary)

but if use "driver = webdriver.Firefox(firefox_profile=profile)" i see the updated useragent but then normal firefox is opening with my standard ip

What am i doing wrong? my os is on Windows 11 and python 3.9.9

edit: i see, when im using the webdriver with firefox_binary right of address bar "not connected" but the website for example https://api.ipify.org is showing another IP always. is that a problem? if i use webdriver without firefox_binary is see nothing right of the address bar

There is an issue that you are declaring profile as a variable twice:

profile = FirefoxProfile(r".\Tor Browser\Browser\TorBrowser\Data\Browser\profile.default")

profile = webdriver.FirefoxProfile()

Amend to the following:

prof = FirefoxProfile(r".\Tor Browser\Browser\TorBrowser\Data\Browser\profile.default")

profile = webdriver.prof
